When I arrived at Bluestone Vineyards, I was blown away! It was my first time at this stunning view and it was beautiful in so many ways!! The bridal suite is a photographers play ground and I loved getting to photograph Jessica & her girls getting ready!

Bridget & Pat closed out my 2017 wedding season and it was a perfect way to end the year!! They promised forever at the gorgeous Williamsburg Winery in Williamsburg, Virginia and I have to say it has become one of my favorite venues! The romantic feel it brings to wedding days is undeniable!!

What a beautiful day this was!! Katie and Zack got married overlooking the mountains at Crosskeys Vineyards and it was a breathtaking day to say the least!! Every detail of Katie's was perfect; down to her dress, shoes, and jewelry!!

Oh man where do I begin! Allie first contacted me a few weeks before graduation wanting some senior portraits on the quad and I was so excited! Since this was my first year at JMU and first spring semester, I had never taken portraits on my beautiful campus and couldn't wait!!

My first wedding of 2017 is here and it a GORGEOUS one!! Susie and Andrew got married at one of the most beautiful venues in Virginia -- Mount Ida Farm in Charlottesville, VA. The most gorgeous bridal suite and stunning ceremony views all wrapped into one!! This was my first barn wedding and I can say it is one of my favorite types of venues to shoot at.

Patrick and Bridget are such sweethearts!! When Bridget contacted me a few months back, I was so excited!! She booked me almost instantly and that makes my heart so so happy!! Patrick is finishing up law school from William and Mary and is graduating in May; they met three years ago when he first started law school!

Ashley & Ryan are the sweetest and most genuine couple!! I had the best time laughing with them throughout their entire engagement session! Ashley contacted me a few months back and I am so beyond excited they choose me to photograph their wedding; it is always SUCH an honor!

When I received an email from Danny looking for a wedding photographer, I was so excited!! He told me that another photographer from out of state (who I don't know personally!) referred me to him and that makes my heart happy!! At the time, Danny was living in Pennsylvania for medical school! He told me that he was coming into town to see Sheena and wanted their engagements done then; so we did only two days later!! You can see that here!

Boudoir is so classic and timeless; I think all Brides should invest in a Boudoir session to surprise their honey on their wedding day! Kelley was my first Boudoir client and I am so glad she took achance on me! We met at The Studio Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach and starting shooting away! I was a little nervous as it was my first Boudoir session but Kelley's laid back personality put me right at ease!

How gorgeous is this little family!? Jessica is gorgeous, Todd is quite handsome, and the girls are beautiful!! They are all around perfect and I loved getting to shoot their family session! Jessica was referred to me by our mutual friend Jamie and I was so excited when I saw her email pop into my inbox!

Hello, dream come true! About a month before heading up to NYC for 9 days, I posted in the Rising Tide Society reaching out to see if anyone would be interested in a session while I was there. Tiffany messaged me and asked if I would take some head shots for her in Central Park!! If you don't know me, know that New York is my favorite place and it is my dream to live there one day, so when she messaged me, I was so excited!

My BABY cousin and her boyfriend wanted some romantic photos before he headed off to college! The Fort Story Lighthouse at the Oceanfront is a gorgeous little hidden gem and I love shooting there! Complete with the cutest walkway, gazebo, and most beautiful ocean; it is a total win location! The weather was beautiful and I was so excited to finally get these two in front of my camera!

Danny emailed me just a few days before we shot their Engagements in Norfolk. Danny is in medical school up in PA and Sheena is a Physician Assistant working in Norfolk -- he was coming to visit that weekend and asked if we could squeeze in there session while he was in town; of course!!

They said their "I Do's" with their closest family and friends by the salty sea! Ralph and Pam live out of state and were visiting Virginia Beach to get married -- what a perfect place!! Ralph contacted me a week before their wedding and I asked me if I would photograph and of course I said yes!! Anything to shoot by the sea :)

Kaleigh contacted me a few months back and asked me if I would photograph her husband's USS Truman Homecoming -- heck yeah!! This was my first Homecoming and it was one of the best experiences! Little Landon was only 13 DAYS old when Dave deployed so it was very emotional when he saw Kaleigh and Landon after 8 long months!

Oh how I love this little family!! Can we talk about how gorgeous of a couple Ash + Cole make!? They made my job easy! Ashley is a local wedding planner of Jamie Leigh Events and I met her when I did my first styled shoot a couple of months ago! She is such a sweetheart and I was so excited when she asked me to photographer her family!

Jamie and Lee are celebrating their one year anniversary today and I was so excited when she asked me to capture some pictures of her and Lee + some family ones with Bodhi! They are such an adorable family and I jump every time she asks me to photograph them; I mean look at them!! How gorgeous!!! I took some lifestyle photos a month after Bodhi was born and I can't believe how much he has grown in just 5 months!

Ohhh what a beautiful wedding this was!!! Amanda and Steven were married in the same church that her mom and grandmother were also married in; how awesome is that!? The church was completely breathtaking and it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies that I have witnessed.
